Pedestrian approach as per jonglew, viewed location from 750m WSW, mapped on roadway bend close to large warehouse, OS say Dest 03/75, presumably when farm was overrun by dock. Cettis warbler singing en route, water rail calling, fat chance of seeing either! Cut BM on ruined barn, the other 2 en route apparently gone

Docks from near STW, 750m WSW

With friends I walked along a foreshore footpath from Portishead to approximately ST48937729, near the sewage works. This gave views of the large warehouses that occupy the location. Strangely, the 25K OS map shows much of Royal Portbury Dock as access land but the reality is different.

Location was close to the left wall of the large warehouse, near where it meets another warehouse in the background.

From Sheepway, past Atherton House, Portbury Wharf and the sewerage plant. Was within 750m, possibly the closest it's possible to get to it on public paths.

Drove around a few roads in dock area, got to the gate shown by PYOUNG1S and continued only to be thwarted by a police guard and check point some 700m further on. Best photo taken from TP9048 giving an "aerial shot"

As previous visitors, if it is still there, absolutely no way to reach it. In the dockyard somewhere behind security barriers, fencing and guards. Never mind.

Walked from Atherton House past Portbury Wharf. Wildlife area created with bird hides. Past Sewage Works and reached a point about 700m from trigpoint location. Now large warehousing and other dock infrastructure.

As others have said, visitors to the docks are not encouraged. Tried Marsh Lane (to east of main gate) but no way in.

Drove around outskirts of site, but many high fences, security barriers, and warning signs discourage visitors.

A brief visit to Portishead to see a very sick friend. A quick trip here on the way home. Like previous visitors, one is not encouraged to add one's vehicle to the huge mountain of them sitting on the dockside! I did enquire at the port gates but no-one seemed to know anything about the pillar so it must have been removed completely.

The area is now occupied by Royal Portbury Dock with its large warehouses, big cranes, large ships and thousands of new cars. I ventured as far as the port entrance but you are not encouraged to enter.

Royal Portbury Docks were completed in 1977. TP disappeared in construction work.
